Deep Mine

[vozzler003]

Hello,

Amazing game over all. The only thing that really annoys me is the mines. 25k for a one time pass to the mine I find is way too expensive. If anything it should be reduced or made into a 3 or 7 day unlimited use pass. Copper ore veins on the surface are way too few(Either reduce ore to bar ratio 3 to 1 or increase amount of veins on the surface). Enemies should not respawn in the mines or have a much greater spawn time increase. Super annoying trying to go mine something and a never ending swarm of bats keep appearing every few seconds. Bats are a major pain in the rear especially if the game has no auto combat targeting system.

Thank you!

Here are 2 mods from nexus that will help with your problems, they both need BepinEx 6 to run: https://www.nexusmods.com/dinkum/mods/23 and https://www.nexusmods.com/dinkum/mods/68.
The first link is peaceful mining, you can make the mobs be passive(not attack you). The second makes the mining pass infinite use.

$25k is a lot early game, but it's a rounding error later on. It's not uncommon for players to be able to sell to a certain NPC millions in dink, I've sold him over 9 million in one day. Some players are gambling 50,000 dink a day in gacha machines. Dink gets stupid simple to make later on in the game so there's a balance that has to be made. The mines are supposed to be expensive early on as it's not meant to be something you spend your time in heavily early on, especially without iron or power tools. You may want to focus on getting dink generation higher before turning more attention to mines.

Also, you don't actually have to fight anything in the mines for the most part as you're fast enough to just outrun everything. With the flashlight strobe feature, it's super easy to stun animals and then flee.

i would prefer the mines to be smaller but have levels (1,2 3 etc) and the pass is required to go to the next level. generate the map but a quarter of the size and save it and have on the controls the ability to pick the level and have different biomes down there, some have ore veins running through so you know where to get a certain ore or quartz.
bats are a pain but sausage roll, wattle brew and iron spear with jackhammer are the way to go, like everything, when you get it its simple but annoying until then ( like fishing was at first lol)
